I find this part interesting:

Additionally, note that the driver will not engage the SCSI core at init
time.  The driver must be directed to dynamically engage the SCSI core via
the /proc filesystem entry which the "block" side of the driver creates as
/proc/driver/cciss/cciss* at runtime.  This is because at driver init time,
the SCSI core may not yet be initialized (because the driver is a block
driver) and attempting to register it with the SCSI core in such a case
would cause a hang.  This is best done via an initialization script
(typically in /etc/init.d, but could vary depending on distribution).
For example:

        for x in /proc/driver/cciss/cciss[0-9]*
        do
                echo "engage scsi" > $x
        done
